Backyard dunes seen from aboveThe backyard of Big Hill Post Office, photographed in 2020. Weeds push through cracked concrete and corrugated iron walls carry rust and peeling paint in layers. The post office operated from 1 November 1869 until 1945, serving the small settlement that had grown around Hannibal Hawkins Macarthur's grazing country north of Marulan. Part of the Big Hill Post Office series.
